Rakes
JCB rakes cover levelling, gathering and soil preparation across garden and site applications. The 12-tooth tubular steel garden rake with a 30cm head handles loose soil, leaves and debris on large areas without bending or breaking. The 20-tooth Heritage lawn rake (JCBHLR01, 520mm carbon steel head, ash handle) handles lawn raking and surface thatch. For contractors, the 16-tooth contractors rake (JCBCRK01, 170cm) provides a wider sweep for large-scale grading and tidying. All designed for full-day use without fatigue.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a garden rake and a lawn rake?
A garden rake has rigid flat tines on a flat head for levelling soil and working it into a fine tilth. A lawn rake (fan or spring rake) has flexible wire or plastic tines for collecting leaves and moss from grass without scratching the lawn surface.
What size rake head do I need?
For open beds and borders, a 30cm head handles most tasks. For larger vegetable plots, a wider head (40-55cm) reduces the number of passes required. For tight spaces and raised beds, a narrower head is easier to manoeuvre.
Are JCB rakes suitable for contractor and groundwork use?
Yes. The JCB tubular steel garden rake range is built for regular professional use in landscaping and groundwork. The tubular steel handles are more durable than solid wood for impact-heavy work such as raking gravel and hardcore.
